Newest update from Humminbird. I now can use my lowQ transducer that came with my Helix G2N Mega DI at the same time as my Helix Mega G2N Side Image transducer via a Y cable. Love my 2d images. They also added some nice enhancements to their SI and DI. Really seems to make the fish "pop" out. Here are a few images from today, and yes I did catch around 50 crappie, :)

You can’t ask for any better pics than that. Best I have seen! Been so busy, I need to update and get on the water to tweak my Humminbirds! :cheers2 Glad you caught fish too!
Awesome shots Roy!
Looks awesome!
Very nice pics.
I went fishing with an older friend once a few years ago, and we were just not catching anything. He showed me on His old Humminbird Unit and said "I just don't get it! Look, you can see them RIGHT THERE!"
I said "Your'e right Joe, I see 'em too. Best I can figure, they must have some kind of finder themselves, and they are keeping an eye on us too". :dono
Looks good

Roy, waiting to get my repaired boat/trolling motor from the shop. Downloaded the 2.110 Helix 10 update. Still running the 1.64 (?). Can I update from the older update to the new without doing the one in between? Thanks.

Yes you can skip previous updates and just install the latest one. I usually don't do updates but this one had some things I really wanted. So far, so good.
I really think the transducer has allot to do with my 2d images. I really wanted to be able to use the lowQ transducer from my Mega DI unit and this update along with a Y cable from Humminbird allows me to do it. This was the main reason I updated my units. Sure glad that I did as I really love all images now. I think HB really did a great job with this update.Quote:

This 2.11 seems to have more good than bad being written about it so it might be time to bite the bullet and try it. I think I'm still back around version 1.4 something on my 1st generation Helix 10 SI. Nothing hooked to it, no network or sensors or anything but still.......
Very nice images.
Is your 2d transducer transom mounted or on your trolling motor.

Slowhand, I have my 2d transducer, (from my mega di unit) installed on the transom right beside my Helix Mega SI / DI transducer.
Did Humminbird ever get a fix for thier inconsistent depth reading problem?
I haven't had any trouble on shallow water depth reading since installing the 1.9 update. I've only been on the water once since the 2.11 update but I like what I'm seeing.Quote:

The other update enhancements were bonus benefits. If there is nothing you can use in this update then don't. :)Quote:

Thanks for the information, just installed my helix 10 mega si/di gen 3. Also, installed the update 2.11. Will try it out on Wednesday.
Updated from 640 to 2110 on my helix and had problems displaying depth. Had to reset defaults on unit before and after installing update to fix the problem. Was worth the effort.
Been running 2.110 on my helix MSI+ G3 since it came out with zero issues. :ThumbsUp
My helix 10 gen 3 worked great.
Glad to hear as I just installed same Helix 10 g3n in DI on my boat and can’t wait to hit the water.Quote:

If you updated to 2.18 there is no reason to go back to 2.11 as it has all the updates including 2.11. All 2.18 did was update the settings for running mega 360 and that is what you would loose going back to 2.11. You can go back to 2.11 if you can find a copy of 2.11 for your 8. Need to be specific as to what 8 it is. SI+ or DI?
I have g3 mega di.....thought I was in other forum sorry, I don't have 360 and I was under impression you should upload all updates. The image does not seem as clear it may just be me. Was wondering if my 8 had enough processing speed for last update and that's why image does not seem as clear.
I bought the Black Friday helix 10 msi g2n at Bass Pro. The unit came with 2.110 already loaded. Humminbird informed me that I didn’t need 2.180 unless I was going to feed mega 360 to it from a g3n unit. The strange thing is that the unit came with the XM 9 HW MSI T transducer instead of the XM 9 20 MSI T. Was told I would get better separation but wasn’t Low Q. And that the unit wouldn’t work with the older transducer. Been out one time due to weather and the 2d and si at 450 was really nice. However the si at 800 was dark and was darker at 1.2 mega. Adjusting sensitivity helped but not much. Hoping this was due to the muddy conditions. But still intend on adjusting the transducer.

Why wouldn't use the Mega frequency range and adjust from there? Only in spring when there is an algae bloom with lots of pollen in the water will I change my unit to 455.
Are you fishing over 40 fow or trying to side scan over 80 feet per side? Just curious, if not using Mega you might as well get an older unit.
Was 30 to 35 fow moved range down to 50ft was better but not as clear as 450. 15 deg this morning waiting till tomorrow to readjust transducer and try again Should be 40. I agree I need to get 800 and 1.2 working properly

Try turning off and on the dynamic contrast while using Mega, if it's on it can make the image look darker. If you still have trouble post your settings I'm sure someone can help.Quote:
